The American Family Association (AFA), which has more than two million members and leads campaigns against abortion and gay rights, was upset with the bikini-clad model Lara Bingle's use of "bloody" and "hell" in the ad's tagline.

I feel the AFA needs be offended more often.

BTW, "British TV authorities dropped a ban on the use of the word "bloody" after pressure from Australia, but now Canadian authorities are unhappy with the way the ad portrays beer drinking."

After bitterly complaining about Apple's jump to Intel, on Saturday I went and got one (an iMac).

So far so good, I can't really run anything of much use on it yet (though it is very quiet and well behaved so far). Much better audio/visual capabilities than my old G4. Shared library crashes iTunes though.
